	    You can obtain DB by visiting the Berkeley DB download page: 
        <a class="ulink" href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html" target="_top">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html</a>.
     </p>
      <p>
        To install DB, untar or unzip the distribution to the directory of
        your choice. You will then need to build the product binaries.
        For information on building DB, see 
            <span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span><code class="literal">/docs/index.html</code>,
        where <span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span> is the directory where you unpacked
	    DB. On that page, you will find links to platform-specific build
        instructions.
    </p>
      <p>
        That page also contains links to more documentation for DB. In
        particular, you will find links for the 
        <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em> 
        as well as the API reference documentation.
